I am from the UK but haven't lived there for 30 years or so. I live in a town in Europe, and am working away this week. I am in a small place famous for its local drunks. I am in a bar waiting for the only (decent) restaurant in town to open across the street. On my way in I was heckled by a drunk man (no big deal, it's common here).
Suddenly drunk comes in and sits next to me at the bar and starts shouting about people from "Dudley" (not Dudley but similar sized town in the UK). All women from Dudley are shit, liars and not to be trusted. He has been removed from the bar by the owners and it's all OK. No danger, no threats, just a harmless drunk.
Except that I am from Dudley (although that's not the town). I just googled towns similar in size to mine. How likely is that? I can understand London, New York, Paris, as I look foreign although my accent is perfect. There is no way he could have known. How on earth did he hit on a small English town that doesn't even have a football team?
